Advice about Art Materials

Art Hazards and Children’s Health at OEHHA
There are unique factors associated with the use of art curriculum and craft materials by children that may increase health risks and should be considered in evaluating the suitability of products for use.

Polymer Clay Safety Issues
The general consensus is that polymer clay is non-toxic, but that it is advisable to take certain precautions, “just in case”. However, take all of these precautions with a grain of salt. Honestly, chances are that the Double Whopper with cheese you ate for lunch is more of a health risk than polymer clay.

Curriculum for Learning Art at Home
